TH 250 - Foundations of Christian Thought (3)

This course provides a foundational knowledge of Christian thought, focusing on theology and its relation to the Christian life. Students will study the basic doctrines and practices of historic Christianity, such as the being, attributes, and workings of the Triune God; the nature, fallenness, and redemption of human beings; the character and mission of the church; the disciplines and duties of personal faith; and the nature of Christian hope. Attention is given to major formative events and key persons in the history of the church that have helped to shape Christian faith. Students will not only learn what and why Christians believe what they do, but how these beliefs serve as a guide to life in the contemporary world. Special emphasis is given to the essentials of Wesleyan thought.
